They are very impressive but the Royal Dragoon Guards can give them a run for their money. The Guards have best rendition of "Amazing Grace" I have ever listened to.

I really enjoy the pipes and my #2 great grand daughtr does too and wants to learn to play them. She has quite a way to go before she has the lung capacity to do so though.

 Perhaps this will help to inspire your great grand daughter..

I love the song and that was an excellent rendition. I'll get the GGD to listen to it. Even though only 11 years old when she gets something in her head she carries through with it pretty well.

You have no idea. Have you ever been schooled abut the complete biology and habits of the NM spade foot toad by a 10 year old?  ;D I have and didn't even know there was such a critter. I knew we had toads but didn't realise they were special to the state. Her mother calls her her little encyclopedia of little known facts.

   Well, where did you expect their loyalties to lie.  They do have legendary courage..a good share of the Black Watch of 1815,
   lost their lives on the cotton bales at New Orleans.
